Fellowship Church LIVE 🔴 | Pastor Ed Young | Sunday 9:30AM CT

Main message: The sermon teaches that it is normal to feel like God is silent, but we should respond with honest prayer, lament, and trust rather than pretending everything is fine. Even when answers don’t come, believers can rest in God’s unfailing love and the example of Jesus, who also faced an unanswered prayer.

Key points:

• David’s repeated “How long?” in Psalm 13 shows honest frustration before God.
• God invites real relationship, not polished pretending; lament is a biblical way to bring pain to Him.
• Pain can either drive us away from God or draw us closer to Him.
• Jesus in Gethsemane modeled anguished prayer and trusted the Father even when the answer was “no” or silence.
• After lament, David turns to trust: God’s love is unfailing and worthy of praise.
• The sermon ends by inviting listeners to surrender to Jesus and trust His nearness even when they cannot feel it.
